The Design Museum has revealed that its fantastical Tim Burton retrospective has become the most visited exhibition in its 35-year history.

More than 170,000 people have so far experienced The World of Tim Burton and because visitor numbers aren't abating the museum is extending the show by five weeks.

The exhibition arrived in London as its final destination after a decade-long world tour that saw it visit 14 cities in 11 countries since 2014. 

Eco friendly Christmas gifts can be pretty or practical..or both. Choose from linen and wool fabrics, FSC-wood products and ideally gifts made in your country.

A small team of expert adventurers is heading out to Oman to undertake the most comprehensive study ever of micro and nano plastics in any desert region. The 26-day expedition through the Empty Quarter of the Oman desert will cover over 1000km, with all equipment being transported by 4x4, camel, on foot and by hot air balloon.

Fifty two sand samples will be collected for analysis and there'll also be studies on how the human body copes in hostile environments.

This mission aims also to inspire millions of children around the world to plant trees and protect forests.
